LISTEN TO THE WHOLE WONDERFUL EPISODE: www.patreon.com/dopeypodcast Dave and Ray kick off a weird “Christmas in May” Dopey Tuesday with an old Ray parody song before diving into stories about Chelsea in the ‘90s, addiction nostalgia, Andy Dick, and the destruction of a longtime neighborhood building. Dave talks about working on a Andy Dick interview for Rolling Stone, while Ray reflects on drinking alone, avoiding chaos in public, and their old neighborhood's transformation from rough-and-dangerous to luxury real estate heaven. The episode spirals into hilarious listener reactions to Selby's heavy breathing during the Patreon Reddit Roundup episode, with fans comparing him to Darth Vader, a dying pug, and someone “pleasuring himself at a men's shelter.” Dave and Ray also talk about recovery shame, missing teeth, NYU dental clinics, old LA drug days, soft-core SLA emails, and the weirdness of getting older in recovery. The episode ends with Dave teasing a big TV pitch meeting and playing “Good So Bad.” Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In 1968, a group of young Indianapolis broadcasters made history — they built their own radio station from scratch, without a license, and dared the FCC to stop them. For four years, Radio Free Naptown brought underground music to the city, from Captain Beefheart to Gil Scott-Heron, broadcasting from makeshift locations that at one point even included a horse pasture. They didn't call it pirate radio; they called it bootleg. Co-founders Steve Everitt and Don Worsham tell the inside story of Radio Free Naptown.
Episode 067: The 24-hour news cycle is spinning faster than a scratched 45, and this week on Six Picks Music Club, Geoff, Russ, and Dave are feeling the vertigo. We're putting down the remote and picking up the needle to discuss how the media is failing us—turning information into infotainment and reality into a ratings game. From the "if it bleeds, it leads" mentality to the era of alternative facts, the guys look for the truth hidden between the headlines. The playlist is a front-page spread of sonic skepticism, kicking off with the legendary Gil Scott-Heron reminding us that the real movement happens in the streets, not on the screen. Hüsker Dü provides the frantic energy of a world obsessed with the broadcast, while Public Enemy delivers a scathing "letter" to the tabloids and Bad Religion offers battle-weary reflections from the front lines. Between the cynical satire of Gorillaz and the surreal parody of "Weird Al" Yankovic, it's an episode for the skeptics, the truth-seekers, and anyone who's ever wanted to throw their television out the window—just make sure you keep your speakers on.

Aldon Lynn Nielsen says the time is right to say it straight, Gil Scott-Heron should be recognized as an important writer. As the George and Barbara Kelly Professor Emeritus of American Literature at Penn State University, specializing in, among other things, African American poetry and poetics, Aldon Lyn Nielsen has published several books of his own poetry, along with scholarly books and anthologies such as Black Chant: Languages of African-American Postmodernism, and his recent essay: Choruses for Gil Scott Heron.

Send us Fan MailThis week's title comes from Gil Scott-Heron's cutting question: “Was all that money I made last year, for whitey on the moon?” It is the kind of line that survives because the contradiction it names never really dies. It forces us to ask a hard question about priorities, power, and progress. Who gets the glory? Who gets the investment? And who is still down here waiting for basic human needs to matter?That tension runs through this entire episode. We live in a society that can produce astonishing technological achievement, stage grand performances of patriotism and progress, and still leave ordinary people undereducated, underpaid, unhoused, and untreated. It can celebrate symbolic breakthroughs while refusing structural justice. It can market spectacle as advancement and expect us not to notice the difference.So tonight I want to sit with that contradiction. I want to deal with the gap between image and reality, between symbolic inclusion and material justice, between what this country says it values and what it actually funds. Because if we are going to think seriously about democracy, power, religion, race, or progress, then we have to start by asking a simple question: progress for whom?Intro: Quote of the Week: Amílcar Cabral Unmasking the News: Democracy Watch: When the Government Can Ignore the Court, the Law is no longer a shield—it's a prop When the System Cannot Beat You at the Ballot Box, It Tries to Erase the Ballot Credibility Is the Real Issue Good News With Caveats: Artemis II, Black Progress, and Earthly Priorities Strategies for Black Power: AI, Power, and the New Digital Color Line Reflections and Call to Action: Closing/Outro:Sources:https://apnews.com/article/f5ab5110336be20773e8aa8d5b484879?https://apnews.com/article/d247677aa601a85cac604645d50fc739?https://www.euronews.com/video/2026/04/16/pope-leo-xiv-visits-cameroon-as-biya-faces-unrest-and-separatist-war?https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/apr/07/the-guardian-view-on-artemis-ii-the-light-and-dark-sides-of-the-moon?Power Concedes Nothing without a Demand...
Hosts: Jill Winkowski and Prue SalaskyDate: April 10, 2026Length: 37 minutesPublication Frequency: Fourth Friday (approx) of each monthIn this episode we explore African American English, its history, features, and variations, including in Hampton Roads, aka the 757. We interview three black academics in the region to learn about AAE and what defines it. We talk to Dr. Iyabo Osiapem, teaching professor of Africana Studies and Linguistics at the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg. Founded in 1693, It's the only university in the state to offer an undergraduate major in linguistics. At Hampton University in Hampton, the city where the first African indentured servants and slaves arrived in North America in 1619, we speak to Dr. Darylyn Dance, a specialist in rhetoric and composition. We also talk to Dr. Travis Harris, a hip hop scholar who teaches at Norfolk State University in Norfolk. From them we learned about the distinctive syntactical and pronunciation features of the AAE dialect; various theories of its development, including from West African languages; some distinctive local vocabulary; the influence of hip hop in its evolution; and its controversial history related to education, including the 1979 Ann Arbor case and the 1997 Oakland decision.We learn about its labels over the years, including “non-standard Negro English” used by white linguist William Labov, “the father of sociolinguistics,” who pioneered research into AAE in the 1960s, We learn about the work of African American linguist John Baugh in exposing linguistic profiling and the development of the ebonics label by educational psychologist Robert Williams, inventor of the BITCH test which highlighted cultural bias in standardized testing. Finally, we discuss attitudes to language variation. Here are some of the books and authors the three professors recommended for AAE: Olaudah Equiano (18th century)(enslaved, freed, went to UK) slave narratives, letters, poems;essayist and journalist Charles Chesnutt (turn of the 20th century) The Goophered Grapevine;Poetry by Frances Ellen Watkins (19th century); by Paul Laurence Dunbar (19th century); by Countee Cullen (early 20th century); by Langston Hughes (20th century); George Schuyler journalist, columnist, critic (20th century); Phyllis Wheatley, born in Africa, writing in second language; Imami All Mine by Connie Porter (This American Girl series); Zora Neale Hurston, Their Eyes are Watching God; Alice Childress, Rainbow Jordan; The Color Purple by Alice Walker; Dutchman (1964 play) by Amiri Baraka; Sonia Sanchez (20th century) poet, playwright, professor; Maya Angelou; Toni Morrison;Gil Scott-Heron, “The Revolution will not be Televised” (“godfather of rap”); academic articles by Vershawn Ashanti Young (contemporary); Bernice McFadden, “Sugar” (2000)For those interested in hip-hop, the W&M Hip Hop Collection, started in the 1980s, is part of Swem Library's Special Collections and includes recordings, publications, and ephemera from Virginia based hip hop artists. Local stars include Pharell and Clipse (the brothers Pusha T and No Malice).Send your questions and feedback to languagingHR@gmail.com; and for more information and to listen to previous episodes, check out our website, www.languaginghr.wordpress.com.

En este programa recorremos un Mediterráneo lejos de la postal turística: un espacio atravesado por memoria, violencia y resistencia. A partir de la exposición Como piedras bajo las palmas, brasas y llama, en la Fabra i Coats – Centre d’Art Contemporani de Barcelona, conversamos con su comisaría, Chiara Cartuccia, sobre ruinas activas, colonialismo, infraestructuras y responsabilidad europea. Un ensayo radiofónico con músicas que cruzan fronteras y activan historias sin resolver. Porque las ruinas no son solo restos del pasado, sino territorios donde imaginar el futuro que podría haber sido. Porqué por un segundo de libertad pura ya valía la pena luchar.

Explore the work of the Princeton, Indiana producer and engineer Robert Hosea Williams (also known as R. José Williams) best known for his work with Gil Scott-Heron. Williams was born in 1936 in Princeton, Indiana, the county seat of Gibson County in the state's far southwestern corner. While his career would eventually take him far from southern Indiana, his family's roots in the region ran deep. His mother, Martha Alice Stewart, came from one of Gibson County's long-established Black families. Her father, Hosea Henry Stewart, was born in Lyles Station, Indiana, one of the most significant Black settlements in the state. Founded in the 1840s by free Black landowners, Lyles Station grew into a self-sustaining farming community with its own school, churches, businesses, and railroad access. For decades, it served as a center of Black life in the region. Gibson County was home to several early Black settlements, formed by free Black families migrating from the South in the early 19th century. These communities emphasized land ownership, education, spiritual life, and mutual support—values passed down across generations, even as many rural settlements declined in the 20th century due to flooding, economic change, and migration into towns like Princeton. Williams' family left Princeton in the late 1940s, but the values of self-determination and cultural pride rooted in Gibson County found their way into Williams' production work, reflected in the socially conscious music he produced for artists like Gil Scott-Heron and Father's Children. In the early 1970s, Williams established himself as a recording engineer and producer in the Washington, D.C. area, building a career that placed him at the center of the city's vibrant but often overlooked soul and R&B scene. In D.C., Williams founded Red, Black and Green Productions, named after the Pan-African flag. Under that banner, he worked with many R&B and funk musicians clustered around the nation's capital, including Father's Children, The Summits, and Dyson's Faces. In 1973, Williams came to the attention of poet and singer-songwriter Gil Scott-Heron, who had been teaching at Federal City College in D.C. Scott-Heron had gained national prominence with his 1971 recording The Revolution Will Not Be Televised. Along with his musical collaborator Brian Jackson, Scott-Heron secured Williams as producer and engineer for his classic 1974 release, Winter in America. Join us for music featuring the engineer and producer Robert Hosea Williams.

Send us a text Welcome to Rational Black Thought. I'm your host, Neo Griot. This week's theme: Is about moving beyond survival, it is time for us to stop “living to fight another day” and to start fighting to win…for good. Our title today comes from Gil Scott-Heron from his song “Winter in America” the words seem even more apropos today, it feels like a “nuclear winter in America”: The Constitution, a noble piece of paper Would free society. It struggled but then died in vain And now Democracy is ragtime on the corner Hoping for some rain And looks like it's hoping Hoping for some rain It's winter in AmericaAnd ain't nobody fighting ‘Cause nobody knows what to save This is exactly how I feel sometimes, I feel that resistance is futile, but I cannot allow myself to wallow and die in that ideology, I have to get the fuck up and figure it out.

It's the fifth anniversary of the Capitol Riot. As Trump part two has been in power for a year and he's begun a new era of American empire, we're re-posting our take on this defining moment in American history. From the 2021 episode: And we thought 2020 was bumpy. In this rush episode, we talk about the shocks happening in the liberal democratic capitalist system. How the ruling class is destabilized by Trump and the far right actions at Capitol Hill this week, and how they are responding to maintain order and their own power as quickly as possible. Last week, we saw organized by war criminal and former Veep and Secretary of Defense Dick Cheney(!) all ten living Secretaries of Defense to call on Trump and officials in the military establishment to ensure an orderly transition of power (he didn't). We saw the National Association of Manufacturers, a notorious anti-worker anti-liberal Democratic institution, issue a statement calling for the swift enactment of the 25th Amendment of Donald Trump over inciting riots at the Capitol. And we saw lots more anger and outrage in the political and corporate spheres aimed at Trump and his supporters. Between the crises of COVID-19, a crashing economy, the climate crisis, a growing far right clearly willing to use deadly violence and these shocks to the system, there are many forces vying for what kind of world is next for us. As the great Gil Scott-Heron told us, “America leads the world in shocks. Unfortunately, America does not lead the world in deciphering the cause of shock.” That's what Green and Red Podcast will be doing. -----------

Recentemente nominata direttrice artistica e didattica di Siena Jazz, di cui era già insegnante (e di cui è stata allieva), la contrabbassista Silvia Bolognesi è una delle figure di punta e più dinamiche della nostra scena jazzistica, e con significativi rapporti a livello internazionale (che già diversi anni fa l'hanno portata per esempio ad essere cooptata nella versione allargata e rinnovata dell'Art Ensemble of Chicago). Con l'etichetta Caligola, Silvia Bolognesi quest'anno ha pubblicato un bel lavoro su Ellington, una grande ispirazione che ha sempre tenuto presente: Jungle Duke vuole essere un omaggio al momento in cui Ellington inventa un suono unico, uno dei momenti più "avanguardistici" del Duca, e quello in cui Ellington si afferma come un bandleader-compositore di assoluta e imprescindibile originalità. Con il suo settetto Silvia Bolognesi riesce a creare una rimarchevole dimensione orchestrale, al tempo stesso rispettosa degli originali di Ellington e contemporanea, e con un sensibile impiego di campionamenti dell'inconfondibile, affascinante parlato del Duca. Anche il cantante e poeta afroamericano Gil Scott Heron è stato ed è una grande ispirazione per Silvia Bolognesi: Gil Scott Heron è in questi ultimi anni oggetto di una meritata riscoperta e di rivisitazioni e omaggi, fra i quali si inserisce degnamento l'album - su cui chiudiamo la puntata - Is That Jazz?, pubblicato da Fonterossa e cointestato a Silvia Bolognesi e a Eric Mingus, voce e poetry. A cura di Marcello Lorrai.

Long ago and far away, around 1970, there was a smoldering rage that permeated through every strata of American society. Following a flurry of assassinations in the mid sixties, the Manson murders in ‘69, riots in Detroit, the Motor City in '67, and in Chicago at the 1968 Democratic Convention, at Kent State in ‘70 with the murder of four protesting students - it seemed that the whole fabric of society was coming apart due to the country being mired in the Viet Nam war and the never ending specter of racism. Step up to the mic Gil Scott-Heron and the MC5. In “The Revolution Will Not Be Televised,” Mr. Scott-Heron, in a performance that has earned him the title “The Godfather of Rap” in some quarters - eviscerates those couch potatoes who are watching it all unfold on tv, and that expect things to right themselves between commercial interruptions. And he does it with jazzy flair that made the absurdity of the whole situation crystal clear.. And, then there was the Motor City 5, those scruffy provocateurs whose manager, John Sinclair was jailed for two joints, who fought the good fight the only way they knew how: by “Kicking out the Jams, Motherfucker!”GIL SCOTT-HERONScott-Heron's combination of spoken word poetry with soul-jazz is a style which has made him influential throughout the decades. So much so that he was inducted as an influence in the Rock and roll Hall of Fame. In “The Revolution Will Not Be Televised” he melds the two strains - one melodic, one verbal - together to deliver an unassailable message: there will be no change without intentional activism. It's word play may be humorous, but it's deadly serious. Now we have the internet and social media and people are less inclined to believe what they see, or even commit to any action because their attention is being relentlessly consumed. In 1970, despite the horrendous condition of the political scene, Gil Scott-Heron still believed that societal change was possible.MC5The same optimism resounds in Kick out the Jams by the MC5. These were kids who saw the wrong headed direction of their government, and tried, by assuming the outlaw stance of revolutionaries, to influence the youth. However, the enterprise was hobbled from the start by drugs, their association with White Panther Party founder, John Sinclair, - and, the radio censorship by their label of their most famous song because of the introduction's unacceptable word “motherfucker!” They were a great live band of proto-punks, home-town heroes in Detroit, who never achieved the national prominence they deserved. It's not the lyrics of Kick out the jams that are dangerous - it's the exuberant energy of the offending word - that, ironically, created history.

Langston Hughes, the great African American poet, said decades ago, “Fascism is a new name for that kind of terror the Negro has always faced in America.” Fascism can and has led to genocide. Progressive African American intellectuals, writers, poets, and musicians have had a long tradition and history of solidarity and resisting fascism and genocide, from Frederick Douglass to Gil Scott-Heron, from Sojourner Truth to Angela Davis, from W.E.B. Du Bois to John Lewis, from Paul Robeson to Amiri Baraka, from Ida B. Wells to Malcolm X, from Ella Baker to Dr. King, from Harry Belafonte to Sonny Rollins, from James Baldwin to Cornel West and up to the present moment where Robin D. G. Kelley warns “We're witnessing the consolidation of a fascist police state.” Recorded at the University of Massachusetts.

Podcast Overview: In this conversation, Will Clarke and Yanis aka Dr. Dubplate discuss the evolution of the UK dance music scene, the influence of iconic venues like Plastic People, and the challenges faced by smaller venues in the current climate. Yanis shares his journey in music, the founding of his record label EC2A, and the innovative strategies he employed to build a community and support emerging artists. The discussion highlights the importance of grassroots culture in music and the impact of commercialism on the industry. In this engaging conversation, Yanis and Will Clarke explore the evolving landscape of the music industry, focusing on the importance of community, the resurgence of vinyl, and the innovations in music distribution. They discuss the pressures artists face in the digital age, the significance of supporting local economies, and theneed for genuine connections between fans and artists. The conversation emphasizes the importance of passion, persistence, and the value of tangible music experiences in a streaming-dominated world.Who Is Dr Dubplate: Be it viral moments during DJ sets or breaking down barriers for the new generation with his label ec2a, Dr Dubplate and the UK's new underground run closely alongside one another. Dr Dubplate's entry into dance music came as a teenager. Heavily influenced by his father – then manager of London institution Plastic People – he grew up absorbing Afrobeat, Rare Groove, House and Funk. Working the cloakroom on Thursday nights at Plastic People he was exposed to residencies and performances from some of the most esteemed artists – Theo Parrish, Four Tet and Floating Points to name a few- which paved the way for an education in and appreciation of UK Sound system and club culture. Dr Dubplate's DJ stripes were earned in Bristol, as promoter and resident for party series Piff where he played alongside artists such as Mall Grab, DJ Seinfeld and Hodge. In 2020 he established ec2a – a more personal project referencing his inspiration and upbringing. Emerging during the height of the new UK Garage scene, Yanis's debut as Dr Dubplate soon followed. With label and DJ projects running side by side, a following quickly formed, leading to bookings up and down the country when clubs re-opened, and a breakthrough year in 2021. A memorable headline B2B set with Interplanetary Criminal for Keep Hush, at their sold out summer festival, catapulted him into the eyes and ears of post-pandemic clubbers as did an ec2a Fabric RM3 takeover later that year. With a rich musical upbringing, it's no coincidence that Dr Dubplate's sets reflect his character; a positive, multi-genre taste with gun fingers as part of the blueprint and treating his crowds to everything from Gil Scott Heron to Kwengface, Dubstep to UK Funky and Trap.Join for updates: https://laylo.com/willclarke⏲ Follow Will Clarke ⏱https://djwillclarke.com/https://open.spotify.com/artist/1OmOdgwIzub8DYPxQYbbbi?si=hEx8GCJAR3mhhhWd_iSuewhttps://www.instagram.com/djwillclarkehttps://www.facebook.com/willclarkedjhttps://twitter.com/djwillclarkehttps://www.tiktok.com/@djwillclarke Hosted on Acast.
